Ravi and Bach

[ralphSpoilsport]

Ravi Zacharias has a broadcast (podcast also) of his apologetics program, and he uses music by Johann Sebastian Bach for his opening/closing theme.

Does anyone know the name of the piece?

Thanks

Do you have a link where we could hear the music?

Let My People Think
Once you get to the page, click on the "LISTEN-Mp3" link. The music will start up right away.

How do you know it's Bach? I don't think I saw that anywhere on the site or in the broadcast.

(I don't know what it is, btw, but it's definitely Baroque...possibly a concerto grosso for lute.)

I caught the oboe version on the radio one day. The announcer identified it as a Bach concerto, but didn't give the name of the piece!

I would love to find the exact version that Zacharias is using. The opening violin statement followed by the tutti strings is simply heaven!

The "old big wig" stands alone!

Thanks for weighing in!

It's J.S. Bach's Concerto #2 in E (BWV 1053). The version I heard on the radio today (which sounded like the same version as the Let My People Think theme) was the Chamber Orchestra of Europe with Andras Schiff on piano (London).
